Hi, have the video card the optimus technology? In this case the "error" that you get is correct, because the video card is not directly connected to the monitor, so you have to configure the intel video card too.

Also make sure to start "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" when starting X. Unfortunately, Gentoo does not do this automatically (like Ubuntu and other distros), so you need to do it manually by putting this in "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/95-nvidia-settings"

Yes, the card has optimus technology, could you give a detail action what I should do?

I tried to compile driver the intel video card (i915), but that let my screen blank during boot phase(after udev started). my screen gone back after turned off the driver (i915).
